Q: In the education of children, literacy education seems to be very important. Most of them enter primary school after learning simple characters in kindergartens, but some parents believe that the education of children to forcibly learn words before the age of seven is not good, and in the case of not knowing words, it will be difficult to follow up on the progress after entering primary school. As in Israel, Germany, the United Kingdom, Finland before the first seven years of school, the text of education is legally prohibited. Wondering at what age it is better for a child to start learning words, and what methods should be used to seek through your wisdom?
Sky Teacher said:
Do you want to do research in the future, or do you want to do knowledge? The learning method that has been used is to read more books, write more articles, and the method of learning and growing in each era is different, so now it is a book for our children, so that children can play with books, it is not necessary to teach hard, after giving books, teach children how to play with books, rather than tough teaching to remember words.
If it is fixed, it is difficult to change. So before the age of seven, the child should not fix him, let the children have more contact, like us can give books to the children like a flood, there are many countries that can not even be elected because there is no paper, like the current good environment, we have to provide more information to the children. For example, when we educate a genius in a certain aspect, we take the papers of the most authoritative person in that field to teach the genius, and the genius is not to educate, but to provide information.
Provide children with materials that they can learn, let them pick out the interests themselves, and then form groups and play together, in the process of playing, let the children arouse interest, and automatically have a desire to learn about the things they play. But adults directly teach children "what is this, what is it for", will not come up with new answers, to give children the opportunity to deduce new. Why do you teach children what this tool is at the beginning, and when they first see it, they want to use this how to play? When an adult or kindergarten teacher asks, "What is this called?" When the time comes, there will be a lot of strange answers, and the children will gather such answers, "Children, what is the name of this?" Then each child would come with their own name, "What is that called," and "What do you mean by that name?" Let's explain! Let the children understand..." Education is to be carried out in this way until the age of seven. Now the method of education is centered on the "I", according to the adult method.
Today's children need to plan for the future, need new thinking, and create new things, so they need to guide these from a young age. Seven-year-olds don't teach, they have fun with them.
Have fun with your children, and your children will grow up naturally. When children enter primary school, because of preschool learning, they will understand as soon as they teach. Why do you have to let them memorize by rote from the time they were in kindergarten? Play games in English, all education is carried out in the way of playing, then when it is time to go to elementary school, it absorbs a lot of things, through playing also touched a lot of things, after entering primary school, when teaching what this is, immediately remember, progress is very fast.
The way to cultivate children's expression is through play and play. If you want to cultivate a method of expression and give an answer, then there is one method of expression, so you do not give an answer until the age of seven. Even if you know the answer before the age of seven, you don't participate in any competition and get the trophy back, so why do you always have to give the answer? When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I naturally knew it, and I could learn from it, and others could also know that the rate of growth from now on was changing rapidly.
It is not right to learn all the words before going to elementary school. It is okay to let children touch words and play games with words, teach one by one, and let rote memorization be wrong.
